Do you think they could introduce BRAT as a modification?
I hope we get the Abrams RAT that also covers the turret.

Aircraft: Curtiss P-40N-5-CU Warhawk
Description: Single-engine monoplane fighter
Description: The final production model of the series, the P-40N represented Curtis’ efforts to improve the Warhawk’s performance by decreasing the plane’s weight, installing the new Allison V-1710 engine, lengthening the fuselage, and improving the rearward visibility by expanding the cockpit.
Early-model P-40N-1-CUs had the best performance of any P-40, with notable increases to speed and rate of climb by deleting two of the machine guns from the wings, dropping the armament from 6x M2 0.5 cals to just 4x M2 .50 cals. Later variants from the P-40N-5 onwards started installing them again after pilot reports about the armament’s poor efficacy in combat started flooding in. Nevertheless, “hot rod” P-40Ns with the reduced armament saw speeds of up to 378 mph, while later, heavier blocks saw “just ~345-50 mph.
Despite the improved performance of the P-40N-5’s late-model Allison engine, it was still inadequate for many sorties in the European Theater which involved high-altitude mission profiles. This was primarily due to the lack of a two-stage supercharger. As a result, the P-40N was primarily used for ground attack in Europe (primarily over Italy), although in the Pacific Theater it still saw some success as a fighter.
In addition to seeing service with the USAAF, the P-40N series saw great usage with with Commonwealth nations like the RAAF and RNZAF who used the type as late as 1945.
